Another Shackleton Runup
By: stirlingeffort - 5th February 2014 at 11:07
You might be interested in these pictures I took at SAAF Ysterplaat during a visit to Cape Town in 2008. It was supposedly the last engine run-up of Shackleton 1722. Fortunately, I knew the curator who invited me to the occasion along with a few other people in the know. I was also allowed to walk around the aircraft with the official photographer during the engine run so I wouldn’t imagine that there are too many pictures of the occasion.

Very nice looking and the sound is great!
Too bad the gentleman in the shorts has to move into view just to take his photos?
He could have stayed a bit further away!
I do trust that the engines had cooled down properly before the ending shots.
